Client End Software

Microsoft Excel

The SmartChart spreadsheet has been developed with Excel 2007 but we have tried to maintain backward compatibility upto Excel 97. It has been tested successfully on Excel 2003

Swiss Ephemeris

A key component of this software is the ability to calculate the longitudinal positions of various planets at specific points in time. This is a very complicated task and instead of re-inventing the wheel, we have simply taken the excellent ephmeris program ( "Swiss Ephemeris" ) that is available free of cost for non-commercial use from AstroDienst. There four files that are necessary :
  • swetest.exe : from ftp://ftp.astro.com/pub/swisseph/programs/
  • seas_18.se1 : from ftp://ftp.astro.com/pub/swisseph/ephemeris_files/
  • semo_18.se1 : from ftp://ftp.astro.com/pub/swisseph/ephemeris_files/
  • sepl_18.se1 : from ftp://ftp.astro.com/pub/swisseph/ephemeris_files/
These four files need to be placed in the same directory as the SmartChart Excel sheet
